Makaha Surfside
Preliminary Information – Full Audit Pending
This buildings features were determined from publicly available data, including MLS listings. While we cross-referenced additional data sources, it still likely contains incomplete or inaccurate information, as it has not yet been personally verified.
Once a building has been fully audited, this page will be replaced with an in-depth analysis featuring verified details and photos of every key feature.
Until then, we provide a data‑driven overview that blends statistical analysis of the checkbox selections agents make in MLS with an AI‑powered read of their public remarks—yielding a clearer picture of the building than raw listings alone.

I searched for concrete owner-occupancy indicators such as a percentage, "majority owner occupied," or similar phrasing, but found none. The remarks only say things like "Suitable for owner-occupants," which describes eligibility rather than actual occupancy mix, so the percentage remains unknown.
The public remarks repeatedly confirm a five-elevator building, including one listing that states "5 elevators throughout the property." Multiple other listings also reference elevator access or new/upgraded elevators, reinforcing the count. Confidence is very high.

Strong building-level evidence supports common area electricity/common maintenance being included. MLS data shows OTCOEX in 13/20 current listings, and several remarks reference included common-area maintenance or building services. The pattern is consistent across many listings and agents, so this feature should be treated as true.

Hot water inclusion is not supported at the building level. Only 1/20 current listings show HOTWAT, and many remarks explicitly mention tankless, on-demand, or newly installed water heaters, which points away from building-supplied hot water in the maintenance fee. The evidence is consistent enough to correct this feature to false.

Sewer inclusion is strongly supported. MLS data shows SEWER in 16/20 current listings, and several remarks plainly say "water, sewer, and trash collection" are included. This is a clear, repeated building-level benefit and appears reliable across multiple listings.
Water inclusion has the strongest support of the four features. MLS data shows WATER in 17/20 current listings, and several remarks directly state that "water" is included in maintenance fees. The consistency across listings indicates this is a true building-level feature.
BBQ/grilling facilities are very strongly confirmed. Numerous remarks across the listings reference shared BBQ spaces, often paired with pools, security, and recreation areas, which suggests a real common amenity rather than a checkbox error. The consistency across many listings makes this highly reliable.

This feature is very strongly confirmed. Dozens of listings mention it directly, including phrases like "exercise room," "fitness room," "full gym," and "fitness center," and the evidence appears across multiple agents rather than a single copy-paste source. It should be treated as a shared building amenity.
No analysis available
There is clear direct evidence for a shared meeting room/community room amenity. While fewer listings mention it than BBQ or sauna, the mentions are explicit and repeated enough to confirm the feature at the building level. This appears to be a genuine shared amenity, not just MLS noise.
Multiple listings (10+ from different agents) explicitly mention unit lanais/balconies and building BBQ/poolside pavilions, e.g., 'one of the larger lanais in the complex,' 'watch the sunset from your lanai,' and 'BBQ pavilion perfect for gatherings.' Other units reference a 'Juliet balcony' and 'oceanfront pavilion with BBQ and picnic areas,' indicating consistent availability of patio/deck-type outdoor spaces. Even though only a minority of MLS checkboxes flag PATDEC/COVPAT, the detailed remarks provide strong evidence that patio/deck amenities exist in this building.
The building appears to have shared walking/jogging paths. Several listings mention paths leading through the property, to the pools, and toward the beach or lagoon, which is consistent with a community trail amenity. Evidence is repeated enough to confirm it.

Moderate evidence: several listings mention a 'meeting room', 'rec room', 'recreation room' or 'recreation area' (explicit phrases found in a number of public remarks), while MLS shows this amenity in 4/20 listings. The mentions are explicit but not ubiquitous, so inclusion is warranted with moderate confidence.
Moderately strong evidence: although CURRENT MLS checkbox count for RECROO is lower (2/20), many public remarks describe a 'meeting room', 'rec room', or 'recreation room with gym equipment', indicating the building offers at least one shared recreation/meeting space that agents mention across listings.

Sauna access is very strongly confirmed across many listings. Multiple agents mention it directly and often in detail, including multiple saunas and male/female sauna wording. This is one of the most consistently supported amenities in the remarks.
Several listings describe building-level storage features, including a unit with a 'covered parking stall & storage locker,' another with 'assigned parking with storage,' and remarks noting 'storage closets' and 'storage space for your surfboard' as part of the common amenities. This appears in at least 4 different listings from different agents, suggesting dedicated storage facilities are a consistent, shared amenity rather than a one-off unit feature. Despite sparse MLS checkbox use, the detailed remarks provide strong evidence that Makaha Surfside offers resident storage/locker options.
The remarks directly reference surfboard storage, including exact wording about storage space for a surfboard. That is strong public-remark evidence that the building offers surfboard storage facilities.
No analysis available
There is no explicit remark-based confirmation for a trash chute, but the current MLS amenities data still shows it checked in a meaningful number of listings. Since the historical confidence was high, I am keeping it as true rather than forcing a false correction. Evidence is weaker than the other amenities and may reflect MLS checkbox behavior more than descriptive text.

Pool is strongly confirmed for Makaha Surfside across a very large number of listings. The current remarks consistently mention shared amenities such as "two pools," "two swimming pools," "one of two pools," and even "dual swimming pools," indicating this is a common building-level feature rather than a one-off agent error. There is no credible evidence of a change or removal, and the repeated mentions across many listings strongly support inclusion.
No remarks (0/20) explicitly state the pools are heated; listings repeatedly call them 'two pools', 'sparkling pools', or 'salt water pools' but never 'heated' or 'heated pool'. While 3/20 MLS amenity checkboxes list HEAPOO, the absence of any 'heated' language in detailed remarks across the dataset strongly indicates the pools are not heated; the few MLS flags appear to be inconsistent agent checkbox usage.
The listings directly identify the pools as salt water pools multiple times. This is clear, repeated public-remark evidence, so confidence is very high.
No analysis available
There is overwhelming evidence that Makaha Surfside has shared/community laundry facilities. Multiple current remarks explicitly say "on-site laundry," "laundry facilities," "community laundry," "laundry room," and "2 laundry facilities," and the MLS amenities show COMLAU in 16 out of 20 listings. The consistency across many listings suggests this is a stable building amenity rather than a copy-paste error.
I looked for language indicating paid laundry such as coin laundry, coin-op machines, card-operated washers, or a laundry fee. The remarks mention community laundry and laundry facilities, but nothing says the machines require payment.
I searched for explicit wording like 'laundry on every floor,' 'each floor,' or similar floor-specific references and found none. The remarks only mention on-site laundry, laundry facilities, or multiple laundry areas/buildings, which does not confirm every-floor availability.
Parking is clearly a building-wide feature. Current public remarks mention it in dozens of listings with phrases like "2 open parking stalls," "covered parking," "parking garage," "assigned parking," and "dedicated parking stall." The evidence is consistent across multiple agents and unit types, so this appears strongly supported rather than copy-paste noise.
Assigned/reserved parking is strongly supported across the listing history for Makaha Surfside. Multiple remarks explicitly mention "assigned parking," "deeded parking," "designated parking stall," and even a "reserved parking spot," indicating this is a consistent building-level feature rather than an isolated agent error.
Covered parking is well supported across both historical MLS data and current remarks. Several listings explicitly describe "covered parking," "garage," or "covered assigned parking," which appears consistently across multiple agents and units.
There is clear evidence that at least some units include deeded parking. The public remarks repeatedly use deeded-ownership language rather than just assigned or included parking.
No analysis available
I looked for parking fee, monthly parking charge, rental stall cost, or similar language. The remarks mention assigned, covered, deeded, and guest parking, but do not state any parking fee.
Guest parking appears to be available at Makaha Surfside. Multiple listings reference "guest parking," "guest stalls," and "ample guest parking available," showing consistent support across the listing history rather than a one-off checkbox.
Secured parking/entry is strongly supported by the remarks, even though the current checkbox count is lower than some other parking features. Listings repeatedly describe the property as "secured, gated," note "secured entry," and mention that the "parking entry has security guard," which is consistent with controlled access.

I searched for waitlist language such as joining a list or waiting for a stall. The remarks describe assigned, deeded, reserved, guest, and ample parking, but nothing about a parking waitlist.
No analysis available
I searched for card/fob access terms such as key card access, keycard entry, fob access, or card reader and found none. The remarks mention secured entry, gated access, keyed entry, and security patrol, but not a card-based system.
Security guard service is strongly supported for Makaha Surfside. Dozens of current remarks explicitly mention it, including phrases such as "24/7 security," "24-hour security patrol," "24-hour onsite security," and "security guard." The evidence is consistent across many listings and appears to reflect a real building-level amenity rather than isolated agent copy-paste.
The remarks repeatedly and clearly mention security patrol service, including 24-hour and 24/7 wording. This is direct, consistent evidence that the building has security patrol.

There is strong, repeated evidence that Makaha Surfside has units with window air conditioning. Multiple current remarks explicitly say “window AC unit,” “newer window A/C unit,” “AC window unit,” and “window air conditioning unit,” across several listings and agents. This appears to be a real building-level feature rather than a copy-paste error, and the current remarks reinforce the prior high-confidence MLS data.
Concrete construction is strongly supported at the building level. The current MLS pattern is 19 of 20 listings with CONCRE, and the remarks include concrete-related descriptions rather than a one-off checkbox. This looks like consistent building-level data rather than agent copy-paste noise.
There is no public-remarks evidence for double wall construction across the listings reviewed. With only 1 of 20 MLS records carrying the DOUWAL flag and no explicit mention in remarks, this appears to be an unsupported or erroneous MLS checkbox rather than a verified building feature.
Limited and inconsistent MLS evidence: only 4 of 20 current MLS records list 'HOLTIL' and none of the numerous public remarks mention hollow tile. With no supporting descriptions in agent remarks and low historical confidence, hollow-tile construction is not supported by the public remarks and appears unlikely, though MLS checkbox entries are not uniformly cleared.
Moderate evidence: 6 of 20 MLS records include MASSTU and multiple listings describe concrete/cinder-block walls that have been drywalled/surfaced. While remarks do not explicitly say 'stucco', the pattern of masonry/concrete construction with finished exteriors supports including masonry/stucco at an implied confidence level.
No analysis available
There is some MLS support for a slab foundation, with 6 of 20 current listings marked SLAB. However, the remarks reviewed do not explicitly mention a concrete slab or solid slab foundation, so this remains moderate-confidence evidence rather than a fully confirmed building feature.

MLS data continues to show ABOGRO in a meaningful subset of listings (7/20), and the historical record was already high confidence for this building. The remarks repeatedly discuss ground-floor and upper-floor units, elevator access, and same-level parking, which is consistent with above-ground construction rather than any contrary evidence.
Weak evidence: only 2 of 20 MLS construction_materials include BRICK and no public remarks reference brick or brick-and-mortar construction. Given the lack of corroborating remarks, it's unlikely the building is primarily brick construction.
No analysis available
I looked for STR-specific language such as short-term rental allowed, legal vacation rental, NUC, TVU, hotel-style stays, or minimum-stay rules. The remarks mention general rental use and long-term tenants, but nothing that clearly permits short-term rentals.
I searched for hotel rental pool and branded resort-program language and found none. Since there is no evidence that STR is allowed here, a hotel pool would also not be supported by the remarks.
I looked for wording such as mandatory participation, required rental program, or cannot opt out. Nothing in the public remarks indicates any mandatory hotel/rental pool arrangement.
No analysis available
No analysis available
I searched for ground lease, leasehold, lease expiry, and renewal language, but found no 4-digit lease-end year. The remarks only describe the property as fee simple, which does not provide a lease expiration date.
The listings directly confirm VA eligibility/acceptance at this building. I found explicit references to VA loans being welcome and the building being VA approved, which is strong public-remarks evidence.
I looked for HOA insurance language suggesting full or walls-in coverage, but the remarks do not mention it. References to maintenance fees, water, sewer, or security are not insurance evidence, so this feature cannot be confirmed from the remarks.
No analysis available
I searched the remarks for explicit fire/life safety evaluation language, including FLSE, fire inspection pass, and safety certification wording, but found nothing. Because there is no public-remarks evidence either way, this remains unconfirmed and is treated as not evidenced.

Ocean views are strongly supported across Makaha Surfside. Dozens of current remarks explicitly describe units with 'unobstructed ocean view,' 'ocean views,' 'Pacific Ocean views,' and 'oceanfront living,' and current MLS data shows 18/20 listings with OCEAN in the view descriptions. The evidence is consistent across many listings and agents, not just isolated copy-paste remarks.
Mountain views appear in a meaningful subset of listings, though far less consistently than ocean views. Several remarks explicitly call out 'Waianae mountain range,' 'mountain and sunset,' and 'Mauna Lahilahi,' indicating some units in the building do offer mountain views. This looks like a real building-level option rather than an isolated or purely copied MLS checkbox.

Coastline views are present but less consistently advertised than ocean or sunset views. A smaller set of remarks explicitly use phrases like "West Coastline," "coastal views," and "Leeward coast," which matches the moderate historical MLS support (4/20 current listings showing COASTL). The evidence is enough to include the feature, though confidence is lower than for ocean or sunset views.
Garden/landscaped views appear in a minority of listings, but they are present enough to support the feature. A few remarks mention "gorgeous landscaped grounds," "grassy back yard," and views of the "green area," suggesting some units look over garden-like common areas.

Limited but present evidence: a small number of remarks explicitly advertise 'sunrise views' or 'wake up each morning to stunning sunrise views' (quoted in at least one listing), suggesting a few units may have sunrise/eastern exposure. Evidence is limited to a handful of listings, so confidence is moderate.
Sunset views are well supported in the public remarks and MLS data. Listings repeatedly mention phrases such as "breathtaking sunset views," "watch the sunset," "front-row sunsets," and "unobscured sunset views," matching the strong historical signal (11/20 current MLS view descriptions show SUNSET). This appears consistently across multiple agents rather than a one-off copy/paste.
No analysis available
I searched for direct statements about viewing Friday night fireworks from the building, unit, or lanai. The remarks discuss ocean, sunset, lagoon, pool, and mountain views, but nothing references fireworks views.
No analysis available
No analysis available
The building appears to have a resident/on-site manager, confirmed across multiple listings. Several remarks explicitly mention "resident manager's office on site," "on site management," and "onsite manager," which suggests this is a real building feature rather than copied checkbox noise. Evidence is consistent across multiple agents and listing eras.
